Stumbled upon Café Gentile on a lazy Sunday morning & honestly it might be my new go-to spot in the city. The cortado was perfectly balanced, not too bitter, & came out in under two minutes which I appreciated. The space has this warm, unhurried vibe that's rare to find on weekends when most cafes are packed & chaotic. Definitely coming back next time I'm exploring the Mile-Ex area.

I stopped there last Saturday. Service was amazing. I ordered a cappuccino & grill cheese. The manager was very nice & offered us a lemon donut for free on the way out. I'll definitely be back there.

Authentic Italian coffee, delicious fresh sandwiches, & a warm atmosphere. The espresso was excellent, & the Sicilian biscotti is a must-try, perfect with a coffee! Friendly staff, great service, & quality food. Highly recommend!

Google gave the restaurant café a rating of 4.6 stars, & I would want to go check it out. I've never been there before. I had placed an order for green salad & veau cutlets. I was somewhat underwhelmed by the veau's thin slicing & small quantities. I give the veau cutlets 1 star, thus I don't understand why they give it 4.6 stars. The food was overpriced & of poor quality. I'm not recommended to eat there.

There are so many unique avenues to explore in this place, making it perfect for groups. Everyone can find an option that appeals to them without trouble. The general vibe is highly welcoming, friendly, & full of energy. The workers here are efficient & ready to assist fast. I will surely come back later to see what else is around.

Sandwich & coffee with taxes & tips will bring you almost to 30$ but you'll be met with quality as to what an Italian espresso bar can offer.
